This process, aiming at enhancing the employability and mobility of citizens to increase the international competitiveness of Europe through the creation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), is been developed in a different way and at a different pace depending on the country. This contribution intends to describe the adjustment of the Spanish University System to the EHEA and the consequences of this process for Forestry Studies. It also presents the new study programs offered by the School of Forest Engineering of the “Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (U.P.M.)”, the oldest centre of higher forestry education in Spain. Finally, the expected outcomes of the new system are outlined. date_type: published date: 2010 event_title: SILVA Network Annual Conference 2010 event_location: Zagreb, Croacia event_dates: 17/06/2010 - 19/06/2010 event_type: conference institution: Montes department: Economia2 refereed: TRUE book_title: Proceedings of SILVA Network Annual Conference 2010 citation: Garcia Robredo, Fernando (2010).
